The Zombies-"Odessey and Oracle" (1968)

"Odessey and Oracle" was the second album by British band The Zombies, released in 1968 and considered one of the most iconic albums of all time.
An aesthetic, beautiful and majestic album, a blend of power and beauty, this mix of rock and classical piano ballads contains a singular and impeccable melodic index. The Zombies had already surprised with songs like the classic “She’s Not There” or “Tell Her No” that gave off two-voice harmonies. Here work is maximized with even greater vocal texture; making one of the best records of the 60's.
The obscure Chris White and Rod Argent provide a collection of great compositions, often in the form of very distinctive two-part fantasies; each more impressive than the other. Rod Argent provides the keyboards for each track, with evocative pieces and well-established harmonic rhythms, his best work is in the mellotron of “Hung Up On A Dream” or his psychedelic solo in “Time of The Season” in addition to glorious vocal harmonies. as in "Beechwood Park" or the songs of "Care of Cell 44" or "Time Of The Season".
In short, a masterpiece and a benchmark of psychedelic music from the sixties.
